Spookone Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Yes because its what gives us the best chance of having a very good season, anything else and we are already on the back foot no matter who comes in and I really, really want us to have a very good season.

oldowl67 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Yes. If we get off to a good start most fans won’t care. Things will get ugly though if we don’t start well or go on a bad run. It continues to amaze me that fans of football clubs apparently believe that professionals in the game feel the same emotional attachment to their clubs as they do.

And that's all we're speculating about at the moment, whether he's considered the change to a premier league club which will pay him more and is also his hometown club who he's supported since he was a kid. He'd be stupid not to consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Yes I would. At the end of the day we are a little bit of a shambles behind the scenes the past few weeks (accounts and embargo) and therefore he had every right to ask to speak to Newcastle. If it happens (and he ends up taking the likes of Agnew, Clemence and even Strudwick with him) then it needs to happen quick and we can't have it drag on. Hopefully DC has already spoken to representative of potential replacements in order to act quickly. Pre-season to date has mainly been about fitness so not too much damage done in that regard. People like Borner, Odubajo and Harris might feel a bit aggrieved as they,any not be as strongly in a new managers plans as they were under Bruce.

rob1601 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Depends if he \ his agent approached Newcastle or they approached him If it’s the first, bin him. Lets hope DC doesn’t get to unrealistic and we get no compo. Bruce can still resign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 All pony talk this, Were a fan base that wanted to hang the owner and club out to dry in support of Fernando Forestieri when he refused to play football for our club If Bruce stays its situation no change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Bruce wants the job and has stated it so that's that as far as I'm concerned. OK, he could stay on but things wouldn't be the same. FF's a player, not a manager, so I don't think it's the same situation. Here's us hoping that Bielsa would be off, and it's our own manager who's jumping ship. Bobbar.

Now I don't say that his refusal to play had no impact on the rest of the squad, as it clearly did, but if the boss wants out then it's all over. I don't blame Bruce for wanting to manage Newcastle, because he's a fan. We're just incredibly unlucky...again. Contrast that with Pep Wilder, whose talents were invisible outside of Sheffield.

TrueOwl Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) He's not come out and disrespected the club or made a *** of himself, if it falls through it doesn't change how I feel about him one way or the other because he was never my choice to begin with. There's better out there, if we're not going to be challenging for promotion for years the football might as well be entertaining.

He may be saying he would put his boyhood club who are in the Premiership ahead of us given the choice, but that in no way means he wouldn’t want to work for us?

At least Bruce asked DC first and then returned for training today. Totally different approaches by both of them yet the majority still love Forestieri.

Sometimes you just have to shake yourself off and go again. Chansiri has to see the bigger picture which is the club and the forthcoming season and not to let this drag on to a more detrimental effect.
